Wandering Arts Biennial (WAB) – opening

ＢＬＯＧ
We leave Cospeito early in the morning and head for Lugo today. A drizzling rain leads us through the valley. The landscape is quite flat which gives our legs a bit of rest after the days before. The concert of dogs continues throughout the whole journey to Lugo. After 5 hours of biking we reach the ancient city that busted out its medieval city walls. The city now reaches until the small rural villages around which gives a weird view when you are at the border of countryside and urban life.

For lunch we are directed towards a local pulperia ‘La fuente del Rei’. When we try to find a p,a e to stay we find out that Lugo is a stopping place for the Compostela pilgrims. Luckily there are still some places in hostel KM 511 as well as a washing machine. The owner of the place explains us that 511 stands for the 511 km Lugo is away from Madrid. In Roman times there was a direct road to the capital. Lugo still has the great city walls that protected the city from attacks and the cathedral preserved from that era.

After a relaxing evening and pick nick in one of our rooms we get in bed early.
